No, it's not a "burden" to the buyer, but it's certainly an invasion of privacy. I fail to see the reason why anyone needs to keep a record of who is buying kegs.
And if they don't think it's a burden to the retailer, they're insane. The retailer will need to keep a record of the identification, so if he doesn't have a copier now, he's going to need to buy one.

As long as there are bums (homeless persons for those of you who have been brainwashed) there will be persons of "age" to get the kids booze.
That doesn't even take into account the idiot parents that will get it for them.
Simply a feel good exercise to take money from the masses.
